Proverbs 28:2-4

Young's Literal Translation

²By the transgression of a land many [are] its heads. And by an intelligent man, Who knoweth right -- it is prolonged.

³A man -- poor and oppressing the weak, [Is] a sweeping rain, and there is no bread.

⁴Those forsaking the law praise the wicked, Those keeping the law plead against them.

Proverbs 28:2-4

New King James Version

²Because of the transgression of a land, many are its princes;
But by a man of understanding and knowledge
Right will be prolonged.

³^(A)A poor man who oppresses the poor
Is like a driving rain ^[a]which leaves no food.

⁴^(B)Those who forsake the law praise the wicked,
^(C)But such as keep the law contend with them.
